Fun find of the day:
Marked Dominion Arsenal – DA 1965
I found a stash of 30-06 blank ammo. I don’t really recall where I picked it up at; or why, but I found these to be interesting.
M1909 Blank 30-06
They are head stamped, “DA 65”. DA is Dominion Arsenal- Quebec Canada. And they are not the normal 6 star crimp that you see on blanks. Originally they had a red cardboard plug. But on these examples, the plug is gone and the powder has been removed. I speculate they were blanks used for funeral services opposed to grenade launching blanks.
